MOST terrifying DREAM

 1 Peter 5:8

King James Version

8 Be sober, be vigilant; 

because your adversary the devil, 

as a roaring lion, 

walketh about, 

seeking whom he may devour:


Ever had bad dreams?

The threatening kind?

Paralyzing your whole body?

What did you do?

How did you get out of it?

What saved you?


Before GOD made me born again, I had such dreams.

Threats of all kinds, paralyzing my body.

Starting 27 years ago.

Only my eyes could move.

My whole body was "frozen".

Unable to move.

My mind was active.

But I could not speak, to ask for help.

I could not mouth the words.

My mind "spoke" -- with GREAT difficulty -- the ONLY prayer that got me out of such terrifying dreams:

"Please help me, GOD!"


The dream would dissolve.

I could move again.

I "lived" through another awful dream.

And I'd take note of EVERY dream, good or bad.

I literally have notebooks describing, and analyzing those dreams.

But there was one particular dream that nearly "got" me five years ago.

About a week before GOD made me born again.

It's the cusp between waking, and still being asleep, that gets you alert.


I woke up to find a "swarm" right above me.

Covering the length of my bed.

Psalm 118:12

King James Version

12 They compassed me about like bees

they are quenched as the fire of thorns: 

for in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.


The "buzzing" insects were too numerous to describe.

I didn't even know what kind of insects they were.

But they felt like thousands of buzzing insects.

All tightly-packed together.

Hovering an inch above me.

Like sharp, tiny blades, ready to pounce.

Their combined sound was so very high-pitched.

Like nothing I've heard before.

As if they were communicating with each other, waiting for a signal.


GOD was merciful.

I got "AWAKENED" at the MOMENT of "attack".

I knew it was a demonic attack -- had TONS of those.

I prayed the only prayer I knew for such moments:

"Please help me, GOD!"


RIGHT AWAY, everything dispersed.

I was practically saved, in the nick of time.

That dream was the last threat to my peace.

The "enemy" wanted to try ONE LAST TIME to destroy me.

As if he could, when GOD's eyes had been on me, all this time.

We had a job to do.


The LORD allowed me to make TONS of mistakes all my life,

He knew it would be useful material for the work He wanted me to do.

FIRSTHAND material was best.

No theories, but true stuff to tell you about.

And now, I could team it up with Scripture.

By the GRACE of GOD, I lived to tell you all about it.

I've had many disturbing dreams prior to that.

You can find it through a fictionalized series of books on SPIRITUAL warfare.


And now, that "swarm".

That was probably the MOST terrifying dream I've ever had.

The MOST terrifying demonic attack I've ever had.

For it was up close, in ambush.

But my childlike prayer saved me.

The enemy knew what I was up to.

I would have none of him anymore.

I was to serve GOD, with ALL my heart.


Yesterday, I decided to do some research.

What was that razor-sharp "swarm"?

The closest thing to describe it was this:

Baal-zebub

also known as: Baalzebub —Greek form of Beelzebub

Meaning, most likely: “fly-lord” or “lord of the flies”.

-- Christian Answers


The very same demonic spirit they accused JESUS of:

Luke 11:14-15

King James Version

14 And he was casting out a devil, 

and it was dumb. 

And it came to pass, 

when the devil was gone out, 

the dumb spake; 

and the people wondered.

15 But some of them said, 

He casteth out devils through Beelzebub 

the chief of the devils.


So, that's what happened.

They sent the "strong" man to finish me off.

Knowing I was on to "something".

Of wanting to be FREE of sin.

Repenting of it.

Committing myself to ABSOLUTE truth.

And eventually sharing with you my "findings".

They would have none of that.


That's what the enemy does.

They ambush you.

ESPECIALLY if GOD's eyes are on you.

They will sabotage everything.

Making sure you end up with them.

But have no fear, dear brothers, and sisters.

1 John 4:4

King James Version

4 Ye are of God, little children, 

and have overcome them: 

because greater is he that is in you, 

than he that is in the world.


TURN to the LORD always.

When in danger, of any sort, look to GOD.

PRAY for His HELP.

It always works for me.

I'm alive to tell you all about it.

Luke 19:37-38

King James Version

37 And when he was come nigh,

even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, 

the whole multitude of the disciples 

began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice 

for all the mighty works that they had seen;

38 Saying, 

Blessed be the King 

that cometh in the name of the Lord: 

peace in heaven, 

and glory in the highest.


Since GOD made me born again nearly FIVE years now, I have not had such dreams anymore.

Sure, these demonic spirits still make their presence known.

And even "seen".

Even the stuff they're "up to".

And I take note of all that.

As I always do.

All the better I could tell you about them.


But this is how I live now:


My joy is in GOD.

He loves me all the time.


My faith is in JESUS.

He protects me all the time.


My eagerness is with the HOLY SPIRIT.

He teaches me all the time.


My source is Scripture.

It guides me all the time.


It is not a selective love GOD has for us.

He loves us ALL the time.

Have faith in that.

DREAMING of JEWS

 Matthew 10:22

King James Version

22 And ye shall be hated of all men 

for my name's sake: 

but he that endureth to the end 

shall be saved.


They walked warily.

Knowing they were not loved.

Wearing khaki.

Every single one of them.

Walking down Session Road.

As I walked up, the opposite side.

I, alone, took notice of them.


Their faces were sad.

Careful to remain unnoticed.

They knew what they were up against.

There could be a mob.

My heart went out to them.

I wanted to talk to them.

To welcome them.

And i wondered what they were doing in my city.

One after another, they walked down.


That was a dream I had, moments ago.

Very early this morning, about 4am.

What was GOD trying to show me?

What was He telling me about them?

What was He telling me about myself?


The look in their eyes haunted me.

They were sad, unloved, wary.

It was strange they were all wearing khaki.

From the neck down.

It was desert uniform.

All were unarmed.


GOD loves them.

Precisely why Satan hates them.

And there is that particular mystery of salvation:

Romans 11:25

King James Version

25 For I would not, brethren, 

that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, 

lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; 

that blindness in part is happened to Israel, 

until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.


We cannot be high-minded against them:

Romans 11:19

King James Version

19 Thou wilt say then, 

The branches were broken off, 

that I might be grafted in.


Knowing GOD's plan for both Jew, and Gentile.

The Jews remain unbelieving that the MESSIAH had already come.

All according to GOD's plan.

Romans 11:32

King James Version

32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, 

that he might have mercy upon all.


We must love the Jews.

GOD chose them.

GOD loves them.

GOD is faithful to them.

Even if they had not been faithful to Him.

Who are we to defy the LORD GOD's choice?


A tiny nation embattled on all sides.

A hardy people, knowing no peace.

Satan making sure Israel is wiped out.

As if that will ever happen.

Deuteronomy 7:6 

King James Version

6 For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: 

the Lord thy God hath chosen thee 

to be a special people unto himself, 

above all people that are upon the face of the earth.


GOD has a purpose for them.

Isaiah 43:21 

King James Version

21 This people have I formed for myself; 

they shall shew forth my praise.


I am aware of GOD's power, and authority.

Over everything, anything, and anyone.

I tremble at His wrath.

I love Him.

And yet I fear Him.


Only because I am born again.

SPIRIT woke me to GOD's TRUTH.

Which cannot be denied.

It is time to love GOD's people.

It is time to love each other.

Each one of us matters to GOD.

That's why JESUS was sent.

Luke 19:10

King James Version

10 For the Son of man is come 

to seek and to save 

that which was lost.


We are all in error.

But GOD doesn't want anyone to perish.

John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.


2 Peter 3:9

King James Version

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, 

as some men count slackness; 

but is longsuffering to us-ward, 

not willing that any should perish, 

but that all should come to repentance.


Know WHICH spirit you serve:

1 John 4:6

King James Version

6 We are of God: 

he that knoweth God heareth us; 

he that is not of God heareth not us. 

Hereby know we the spirit of truth, 

and the spirit of error.

27 years AFTER

  Job 33:15-17

King James Version

15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, 

when deep sleep falleth upon men, 

in slumberings upon the bed;

16 Then he openeth the ears of men, 

and sealeth their instruction,

17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, 

and hide pride from man.


That's how long I've been decoding my dreams.

Twenty-seven years now.

And all because I remembered that first heavy dream.

Wherein I saw a bloodied back.

Truly a frightening dream for one so troubled.

That year, in 1997, was my turbulent year.

My business in the big city was still doing fine.

If anything, I could have taken it to the next level.

Except there was great unrest in my heart.

A kind of void that cannot be filled.

A pain that can't seem to be named.

An inconsolable emptiness.

I had to turn away from society.

And everything I used to know.

I had to look to my wounds in private.


I left the big city, the big house, and moved to the suburbs.

I got a tiny townhouse, that looked like a "train".

It was one, long, continuous stream of at least 42 homes.

Connected by a common wall on each side.

That was a very healing time.

I got to live how I liked.

I got to live in peace, and quiet.

I got to know the neighbors my way.

We had pot luck dinners every so often.

Sharing whatever we had.

Having the time of our life.

In all sincerity, and simplicity.


And that's when the dreams began.

The heaviest of all was that "bloodied-back" dream.

That really woke up my spirit.

I knew I was going through a period of discontent.

Success in the world didn't make me happy anymore.

I literally shied, and hid from it.

I let go of my wonderful staff.

I let go of a world arts and crafts business.

I barely made it through a fashion show.

Only because I was deeply reluctant to join it.

Even as my creation surprisingly made it on television.

A hastily-concocted creation, using the stuff I had on hand.

With no real heart for it; just an obligation to do so.

The world was not about to let me go.

But I went anyway.


For sure, it wasn't about to make me go easy.

It made sure I'd have money troubles.

For the longest time.

I didn't care.

I was drowning, and I needed saving.

The world drowned me further.


I hid, and healed, in that tiny loft of a townhouse.

Hearing the soothing, everyday sounds from my curious neighbors.

For, I was a curiosity out there.

They knew a stranger when they saw one.

They puzzled at my front yard.

With the nine, flat, square stones in front.

Set in place, like a "tic-tac-toe".

Serving as "doormat" for me.

And the seemingly-forgotten tall weeds.

(They whispered, "A foreigner must live here.")


There was a large, green pot by the door, with some colorful flowers.

A metal mailbox by the side of the front door.

A gravel path, that served as additional sole "scraper".

A plastic shower curtain, with fishes on it.

Making me enjoy unheated showers, in a warm province.

An enclosed back yard where a papaya tree grew on its own.

And from which I was able to enjoy its fruits.

A quirky stray cat, with strange teeth, who gave birth by that tree.

With me accidentally witnessing how it gave birth.

Wherein it made a depression on the sand.

And gave a bloodless birth by itself.

As no human has done.

And then again, I could be wrong.


You see, I'm a designer.

That house bore all my favorite thoughts, pieces, and designs.

But I needed to live alone, and look into my heart.

I didn't know what my wounds were.

All I knew was the gaping hole in it.

Which greatly needed tending.

Now I know the meaning of that "bloodied-back" dream.

And it took 27 years to do so.

Only because SPIRIT led me to it today.

By bringing me to Scripture.

As befits a student of SPIRIT.

Leading me to the EXACT verse:

Isaiah 53:5

King James Version

5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, 

he was bruised for our iniquities: 

the chastisement of our peace was upon him; 

and with his stripes we are healed.


Knowing that today, all the more I cannot accept the things of the world.

The pride, greed, vanity, covetousness, insensitivities, and abominations.

JESUS died for me.

As He died for you.

That He may save us from our sins.

And give us eternal life.

I continue with the work given me.

To write, warn, watch, wake people up, and worship.

As a decent warrior ought to do.


I cannot really be socializing, when many are perishing.

I must tell you of the Rapture.

Which the LORD JESUS alerted me to in 2020.

As I was just into my fourth month as born again.

Strangely, as the covid crisis began.


No event in our lives is ever wasted.

It always serves GOD's purpose.

He knows who are His.

He knows who will listen.

I hope you do.

Very SYMBOLIC dream

 Matthew 7:13

King James Version

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: 

for wide is the gate, 

and broad is the way, 

that leadeth to destruction, 

and many there be which go in thereat:


Ever had a dream wherein you felt tired upon awakening?

As if you went through a lot of travel, and travail?

I had, just this morning.

I'll let SPIRIT guide me to figure it out.


FIRST scene showed me headed for home.

I was in a cab, and the driver was about to turn left.

But I told him "no".

We were to turn left past that.

For a moment, he was puzzled.

He didn't realize there was another way.

When we started taking that path, he was surprised.

But recognized there was another path, too.


SECOND scene showed a few people and I on foot.

It seems the cab couldn't take that route anymore.

All had to walk on foot.

It was precarious, treacherous, narrow, and undefined.

At one point, a guard in gear, and gun, stopped to warn us.

He told me something like we must be careful.

We could get kidnapped.

That meant there was "ambush" along the way.

Armed with that warning, we proceeded.

But the way was tough, tricky, and treacherous.

Some paths were narrow, and winding.

Some were rocky.

In my normal waking hours, that route was manageable.

But in the dream, it wasn't.


Making sure we were on the right path, I went back slightly up.

I noticed a foreign couple taking photos as they crouched on the ground.

Time to ask for directions.

Instead, they warned that we will find an open space.

We might get disoriented because it seems there's nothing there.

They warned us not to be put off by that.

That can only mean, we just keep going.


The rocky path was going down hill.

I was with just a small number of people.

In my waking hours, it was really a steep down hill road.

To get to my home, we needed  to navigate that hill.

And back up again, as it hit the main road.


What did I gather from this dream?

As born again, I always search Scripture.

Trying to understand the dream better.

I could only gather that few are really following JESUS.

What is JESUS, but "HOME".

Who is JESUS, but the "PATH".

What is the PATH, but what JESUS defined:

Luke 13:23-24

King James Version

23 Then said one unto him, 

Lord, are there few that be saved? 

And he said unto them,

24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: 

for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, 

and shall not be able.


And through a parable:

Matthew 13:1-8

King James Version

13 The same day went Jesus out of the house, 

and sat by the sea side.

2 And great multitudes were gathered together 

unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; 

and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, 

saying, 

Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

4 And when he sowed, 

some seeds fell by the way side, 

and the fowls came and devoured them up:

5 Some fell upon stony places, 

where they had not much earth: 

and forthwith they sprung up, 

because they had no deepness of earth:

6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; 

and because they had no root, they withered away.

7 And some fell among thorns; 

and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

8 But other fell into good ground, 

and brought forth fruit, 

some an hundredfold, 

some sixtyfold, 

some thirtyfold.


CHRIST's enemy aims to do these things:

To make sure you don't hear of GOD.

To make sure you don't believe in JESUS.

To make sure you don't hear the WORD.

To make sure the WORD doesn't take root in you.

To make sure you are distracted in your path towards GOD.


Satan knows we are in the end times.

We are in "prep for the RAP".

The enemy aims to "kidnap" us along the way.

But true believers remain faithful to JESUS.

We keep on the path, no matter the obstacles.

No matter the traps, and distractions.

We walk with the SPIRIT, to guard us from the world's treacherous ways.

GOD knows who are His.

John 6:37

King James Version

37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; 

and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.


John 6:39

King James Version

39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, 

that of all which he hath given me 

I should lose nothing, 

but should raise it up again 

at the last day.


John 6:40

King James Version

40 And this is the will of him that sent me, 

that every one which seeth the Son, 

and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: 

and I will raise him up at the last day.


The guard with gun was a true guard of GOD, warning us of danger along the way.

The photographer-couple were also of GOD, cheerful, encouraging us.

That we not be put off by seeming emptiness along the way.

GOD really guards His faithful.

He let His SON pave the way, that we may never get lost.

John 8:12

King James Version

12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, 

saying, 

I am the light of the world: 

he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, 

but shall have the light of life.


John 10:27-28

King James Version

27 My sheep hear my voice, 

and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; 

and they shall never perish, 

neither shall any man pluck them 

out of my hand.


John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, the truth, and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.


All believers have to do is keep on the path.

Carry nothing, but the CROSS.

It all leads to JESUS.

TORNADOES, HAIL, and WINDS

 

Isaiah 40:24-25

King James Version

24 Yea, they shall not be planted; 

yea, they shall not be sown: 

yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: 

and he shall also blow upon them, 

and they shall wither, 

and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.

25 To whom then will ye liken me, 

or shall I be equal? 

saith the Holy One.


I had almost forgotten it.

The tornado dream I had a week ago.

Until my mom remarked at breakfast that the U.S. suffered at least 70 tornadoes yesterday.

SEVENTY tornadoes??!!

Again, another tornado dream comes to fruition.

It's the second, in a span of five years.


Last week's tornado dream consisted of just ONE, WIDE funnel.

Like a "mother" of all tornadoes.

I had not been successful in getting an image that closely resembles the dream I had.

Up until today, with that video above, the closest, so far.

Showing the darkness of that tornado.

And the wide funnel, with the people filming, in close proximity to it.

The filmmakers said they witnessed four tornadoes in just that short segment.


Make that funnel maybe THREE times wider, and that's the dream I had.

Wherein I told all the strangers beside me to run for cover.

And to stay away from the windows.

We then all headed for that flat, low-rise, brick building.

And that warning was definitely meant for the U.S.

We don't have tornadoes in the Philippines*.


Friday's tornado outbreak hit Nebraska, and Iowa:

"with forecasters warning more dangerous storms 

were on their way"


Hail fell, too.

As big as golf balls, according to reports.

Just so you know, GOD's in control of hail.

Job 38:22-23

King James Version

22 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? 

or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, 

against the day of battle and war?


Revelation 16:21

King James Version

21 And there fell upon men 

a great hail out of heaven, 

every stone about the weight of a talent: 

and men blasphemed God 

because of the plague of the hail; 

for the plague thereof was exceeding great.


I've always been fascinated by weather.

To boot, GOD gave me a peculiar kind of sensitivity.

I've always been sensitive to the weather.

More or less, I can tell what kind of weather we'll have.

Just by looking at the sky, the clouds, observing the wind.

"Feeling" the "pressure" in the air, through the breath I take.

Feeling the subtle changes, when it occurs.

I can feel when the wind is different.


In decades past, I've also researched on the types of "ill" wind.

I care about people, and I want to know what makes them sick.

And a "certain" kind of wind seems to be it.

I used to do TONS of research on health, and fitness.

Here are a few types of wind I discovered:

SANTA ANA

"The Santa Ana winds (sometimes devil winds)[1][2] are strong, extremely dry downslope winds that originate inland and affect coastal Southern California and northern Baja California. They originate from cool, dry high-pressure air masses in the Great Basin.

Santa Ana winds are known for the hot, dry weather that they bring in autumn (often the hottest of the year), but they can also arise at other times of the year.[3] These low humidities, combined with the warm, compressionally-heated air mass, plus high wind speeds, create critical fire weather conditions and fan destructive wildfires.[4]

There are typically about ten to twenty-five Santa Ana wind events annually.[5] A Santa Ana can blow from one to seven days, with an average wind event lasting three days."


SIROCCO

"Sirocco (/sɪˈrɒkoʊ/ sih-RO-koh), scirocco, or, rarely, siroc is a Mediterranean wind that comes from the Sahara and can reach hurricane speeds in North Africa and Southern Europe, especially during the summer season.

Sirocco is commonly perceived as causing unease and an irritable mood in people.[3] In addition, many people attribute health problems to the wind, either because of the heat and dust brought from African coastal regions, or because of the cool dampness further north in Europe. The dust within the sirocco winds can cause abrasion in mechanical devices and penetrate buildings."


MELTEMI

"The Meltemi winds were known by the Ancient Greeks as the Etesian northerly winds. They result from a high-pressure system over the Balkans area and a relatively low-pressure system over Turkey.

This wind polarises many people with locals often welcoming it while tourists may despair.

Known as a ‘katabatic wind’ ( a drainage wind) it can bring about harsh sailing conditions but also provides cooler temperatures, low humidity and good visibility.

The Meltemi can occur anytime between May and October but is most frequent in summer, June through  September. Its maximum strength and duration is during July and August.

Depending on where in Greece you are the Meltemi winds will come from the north, north-east, or north-west."


FOEHN

"The Foehn is a warm, dry, downslope wind found on the lee side of mountains; the type-location for this adiabatic wind is the European Alps. In the Swiss village of Leukerbad, residents are quite familiar with the Foehn, which sweeps regularly through the main Rhone valley from the southeast. Leukerbad, located in a side valley, rarely experiences the full force of the Foehn, but the effects of this wind are well known: people say that the Foehn brings headaches, makes them depressed, invites suicide, and generates a feeling of ill health."


The thing I really want to tell you?

GOD owns everything.

Heaven, earth, you, I.

He is in control of everything.

Best that man works with GOD's laws.

And not interfere with His "natural design".

GOD always has a PURPOSE for everything.

In GOD I completely TRUST!

Psalm 46:10

King James Version

10 Be still, and know that I am God: 

I will be exalted among the heathen, 

I will be exalted in the earth.


My ears are permanently glued to His heart.

So I don't miss a thing.

And fail to warn you.

A vigilant watchman must be alert.

At ALL times.


UPDATE -- 29* April 2024:

Soon as I woke up this morning, this video greets me.

Tornado warning for Texas.

The host said the very same thing I said in my dream:

"Run for cover ("seek shelter"); stay away from windows!"

After Nebraska and Iowa, it's Texas this time.

And this video update is just 46 minutes ago, as of this writing.

Strangely, his video description also MATCHED the title of this post, just in a different sequence -- "winds, large hail, and tornadoes".

(*My Philippine time zone is at least 24 hours ahead of western U.S.)
